Downloading Software

• AOL Instant Messenger

  Download AOL's Client from http://aim.aol.com or from our mirror at MacOS X Version or MacOS 8/9 Version.
  
  You will need a screenname which you can create by going to http://aim.aol.com/aimnew/newreg/register2.adp
  
  Once you install and connect to the AOL service, you can join the chatroom PrepWorkshop to communicate with any other participants who may be online.

• Quicktime TV

  Download Quicktime TV from our local mirror at MacOS X Version or MacOS 8/9 Version.
  
  Once you have installed this application, you should be able to enter 152.3.25.9 port 4096 in the content manager to connect to our audio broadcast.

• VNC

  Download the VNC viewer from our local mirror at MacOS X Version Client and MacOS X Version Server or MacOS 8/9 Version (Client/Server). Once you install this application, you can use the VNC Viewer to connect to remote VNC desktops. In our case you will tunnel an encrypted connection through SSH and connect to our workshop computer as localhost:10. We'll send more instructions on this closer to the workshop.
  
  If you want to share your desktop, you can run the VNC Server and establish a password for viewing/controlling the desktop. Use this carefully as anyone can connect to your desktop if they have the proper password.

• SSH

  MacOS X should have openssh pre-installed. To set up the SSH tunnel, you will need to bring up a terminal prompt and execute :
  
  ssh -l username -L5910:workshop:5900 cauchy.math.duke.edu
  
  where username is the username you received when you registered for an account for the conference. You will need to enter the password you submitted for this account as well. Once connected the tunnel is established and you can minimize the terminal window (don't close it though).
  
  MacOS 8/9 should download NiftyTelnet from our local mirror at niftytelnet-1.1-ssh-r3.hqx and install it. Once it is installed, you want to setup SSH forwarding to forward local port 5910 to remote machine workshop port 5900.

Connecting to the Video Feed for Workshop (Optional)

• RealPlayer G2 (Optional)

  Go to http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?src=020415realhome_3,sysreqs to get to the Download From from Real Networks. The version for OS 7/8 works under the MacOS X OS9 emulation mode but you won't be able to start watching a video by clicking on a link. You will need to explicitly open the link for the video from within the application.
  
  We plan to broadcast a low quality video of the classroom where the workshop will take place so that remote participants can see if anything is going on at the time. The link for connecting to this video will be http://brutus.math.duke.edu:8080/ramgen/live.rm.
